Abstract: On April 9, 20008, an employee was holding the loop of a wire rope sling as the crane operator was preparing to move some cap trusses to a location closer to the house. The crane's load line made contact with an electrical power line, 12Kv Phase to Ground/23Kv Phase to Phase, and the overhead neutral line at the same time. The sling was energized momentarily, with most of the current passing through the neutral line instead of the more poorly grounded sling connection. The employee received an electric shock and was airlifted to New Hanover Regional Hospital. The employee was hospitalized and treated for electric shock.
